After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Xuanwu City is the farthest from Qinglong City. After taking a carriage all the way, Xia Nian and Xiahou Yu decided to stay in an inn for a night before leaving.

In addition to Qi Sheng, Xiahou Yu also brought five or six people, and Xiao Xian went to Qinglong City a few days ago.

There were quite a few people in the inn, and luckily there were a few rooms left, so they booked them.

After washing casually, Xia Nian walked to the window. When she was about to close it, a knife was suddenly pressed against her neck from behind.

Xia Nian was stunned. She didn't realize there was someone behind her. Who was it? Where did they come from?

The man held her arm and forced her to turn around.

It was a man dressed in black, with his face covered, so Xia Nian couldn't see his face.

Xia Nian stared into his eyes. Who was this man? A robber or a gangster?

"Wow, what a beautiful girl." The man sniffed, and Xia Nian heard his disgusting smacking sound.

Xia Nian wanted to step back, but the criminal held her hand tightly. She asked coldly, "What are you going to do?"

"Originally, it was just a few brothers who came to rob." He pressed on, "Now it seems that we have to pick a flower."

She was about to say something when she heard bursts of crying and shouting outside.

The man's narrow eyes showed a shrewd and calculating light, "Oh, it looks like we're going to make a lot of money tonight."

He threatened her with a knife and took a step behind her. Xia Nian leaned sideways and the knife was against her waist.

"I'm warning you, I'm the wife of cabinet official Xiahou Yu. If you dare to make a move, just wait to be skinned alive!" She gritted her teeth. At this time, she could only reveal her identity first.

Under the candlelight, her cold face was filled with anger, which made the criminals even more excited.

"Oh, do you think I'll believe this?" He grabbed her and walked outside, his tone full of excitement. "Since she's a noblewoman, I'd like to try her out and see what kind of women those corrupt officials sleep with. Hahahaha..."

His wanton laughter echoed in Xia Nian's ears. The insulting words made her clench her fists, and the anger in her heart rose rapidly.

He pushed Xia Nian outside, and Xia Nian's eyes widened instantly. The corridor was full of people, and the adults' shouting and crying mixed together. A loud slap sounded, and everyone around fell silent.

Xia Nian looked towards the source of the sound. It was a girl in her teens. She was kneeling on the ground crying, covering her swollen face. The man in black beside her was pulling her arm and shouting obscene words.

The girl's mother kept kowtowing beside her. She took out some silver from her bosom. After the man in black took it, he still shouted at the girl to sleep with him.

Xia Nian managed to calm down. She looked around but didn't see Xia Hou Yu or the inn's thugs.

She changed her mind and realized that if these criminals dared to come, they must have dealt with the thugs first.

What about Xiahou Yu? Is he in trouble? Xia Nian's heart almost burst out of his chest. If Xiahou Yu was in trouble, the situation tonight would be irreversible.

"Hey, Biaozi, you're lucky to have found such a beautiful girl." A fat and big-eared man walked over from the right, his clothes almost torn by him.

"She is truly a fairy-like figure." He praised again and reached out to touch Xia Nian's face.

Xia Nian did not hide the disgust on her face and turned her head to avoid his hand.

"Hey! Don't give me face..."

"Okay Fatty, this is mine, get out of the way and don't scare my beauty."

Biaozi pulled Xia Nian to his side, and the fat man snorted and turned away.

The innkeeper wailed below and asked them how much silver they wanted.

"We not only want money, we also want to borrow your inn to rest for a few days!" a man in black shouted.

Someone started to offer money to let him go, but was scolded: "It's not a big deal to be rich! You are still begging for mercy like a dog!"

No one said anything immediately. Everyone wanted dignity, but now they were faced with a choice between life and face.

Do these people want to be the emperor here? Xia Nian thought to herself, her face solemn, her fingernails constantly scratching the flesh of her palms to calm herself down.

"Ah!" A sharp female voice attracted everyone's attention. The girl was actually dragged into the house forcibly!

No one around dared to move, only the girl's mother was wailing loudly, with blood oozing from her forehead.

This scene is really infuriating.

Xia Nian bit the tip of her tongue and tasted a hint of sweetness. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the reflective knife on the roof.

It was the flying knife that Xiahou Yu was used to using! She was delighted. The design of this inn was similar to a courtyard house. The roof was not completely covered, leaving a square opening.

Xia Nian felt more confident. She turned around and saw the man dragging the girl inside and closing the door. She said quickly, "I'll go with you! As long as you don't kill me."

Biaozi raised his eyebrows and stared at her face, "Really?"

"Really." Xia Nian looked at him without blinking, "Let's go inside."

"Hey, okay!" Biaozi smiled happily, pulled her and turned to go back to the house.

Xia Nian pretended to trip, she touched her hair and cried softly, "It hurts."

"Beauty, let me blow you." Biaozi stopped and pulled down his mask to reveal a pockmarked face.

Perhaps Xia Nian was too charming, he dropped the knife and tried to grab her shoulders with both hands.

Xia Nian slowly lowered the hand that was touching her head, and when he approached her, she suddenly stabbed the hairpin into his neck at an extremely fast speed.

This hairpin was bought for her by Xia Houyu a few days ago. It was still new, and the end was particularly sharp. She stabbed him again and again with hatred and anger. Xia Nian suddenly felt refreshed, and she almost stabbed five or six bloody holes in his neck.

There was silence for a moment, and then there were bursts of screams. No one would have thought that a girl like this would suddenly take action.

Biaozi's expression was frozen, his eyeballs and lips moved, and then he fell to the ground.

Xia Nian pulled out the hairpin, and blood spurted out of his neck like a balloon leaking air.

This sudden change frightened everyone present. The two men in black rushed towards her, shouting, "Catch her!"

With a few whooshes, their bodies were pierced with flying knives, and Xiahou Yu flew down from the top with a few people. He held a sword that had been polished to a shine in his hand and came directly to Xia Nian's side.

"Anian, are you okay?" Xiahou Yu was panting. He was not tired, but was trying hard to suppress the bloodthirsty impulse in his heart.

Seeing Xiahou Yu, she finally broke down. She held the bloody hairpin in her hand, her hair all scattered, and shouted, "Kill them!"

Xiahou Yu reached out and wiped the blood off her face. A fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "As you wish!"

He picked up his sword and rushed towards the people fighting on the right. The sharp sword pierced them mercilessly, and the air was filled with the smell of blood.

When Xiahou Yu and his men came down, the rest of the people began to flee in all directions. These men in black were obviously no match for Xiahou Yu's men and soon fell under the sword.

Xia Nian wiped the hairpin that was still dripping with blood, and casually tied up her hair. She picked up the knife on the ground and ran towards the room where the girl had just been dragged into.

There were shouting and cursing sounds coming from inside. Xia Nian pushed the door open and found the man covering his lower body and screaming in pain, mumbling curses at someone.

No wonder he didn't come out when he heard the noise outside, Xia Nian thought, and rushed forward.

The man was so angry that he didn't even notice what was behind him. He stood up using his hands and feet and walked towards the girl in the corner.

"Ah——!" Amid the girl's continued and trembling screams, Xia Nian raised his knife and cut off the man's neck without any hesitation.

This scene shocked Qi Sheng who was following behind.

With a clang, the man fell to the ground, half of his neck was cut off, and blood spurted out like a fountain.

Xia Nian dropped the knife, held back the churning in her stomach, and went forward to pull the little girl up. The little girl was already sobbing, and she patiently comforted her. When she heard the noise outside subsided, she half-supported her and walked out.

"Anian!" Xiahou Yu ran to her side and saw that her white dress was stained with dirt and blood. His bright eyes were full of coldness and fatigue. He hugged her.

"I'm sorry, I should have stayed with you!" Xiahou Yu said in a trembling voice, feeling extremely scared.

He was just talking to his men on the roadside when suddenly there was a noise inside. Qi Sheng flew down from above and said that robbers had come to the inn.

His remaining sanity made him go to the roof to check the situation first. When he saw Xia Nian being kidnapped, he almost rushed down, but fortunately Qi Sheng grabbed his arm.

"I'm fine. Are they all dead?" Xia Nian's voice was a little hoarse and she couldn't help coughing a few times.

"They're all dead. I killed them all." Xiahou Yu let her go, regret, anger, heartache and other emotions intertwined on his face.

"Don't leave any one alive." His voice was extremely cold, like the Yama who had just crawled out of hell.

"That's good..." Xia Nian felt relieved, her eyes were dazed, the half-broken neck swayed in her mind, and she fell into Xia Houyu's arms.
